"Child Development is the study or examination of processes and mechanisms that operate during the physical and mental development of an infant into an adult. The study of children should be an important part of every person's life. We cannot communicate with children if we do not understand them. Our lives have been greatly influenced by our childhood and our experiences.
This indispensable book on child development helps readers to understand the latest developmental knowledge and apply it in their work with children and families. Readers are provided with an especially clear and coherent understanding of the sequence and underlying processes of child development, and the effective topical organization emphasizes to readers the way in which all of the domains of development relate--physical, cognitive, emotional and social--throughout the book.
This book is intended to ease the task faced by researchers, instructors, and students who are confronted by the vast amount of research and theoretical discussion in child development and behaviour." (jacket)
